CUNNINGHAM, III,

Philip David

Philip David Cunningham, III of Bellbrook, OH, peacefully died in his sleep on October 26, 2020, after a long bout with esophageal cancer.

Phil was born in Charlotte, NC, on March 12, 1959. He held a Masters of Science in Management Information Systems from the University of Arizona and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics from The Citadel. Upon graduating from The Citadel, Phil served 12 years in the United States Air Force

retiring with the rank of Major in 1992.

Phil retired from PNC Bank in 2018 after servicing as an Executive Vice President for 21 years in several different divisions, including the former National City Corporation where he

assisted in defining the lending operations business model while leading the corporation's Best in Class Loan Optimization project team. Other leadership positions included Branch Manager with First Franklin Financial Corporation; General Manager of National City Home Loan Services; and Operations and Technology Manager of National City Card Services. In his final position at PNC, Philip headed Core Servicing where his leadership inspired his teams as he guided them through many years of changes in the mortgage industry. Phil was also a Director for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) where he served as the Manager of Software Development.

Phil enjoyed many sports but his favorite by far was golf. He started playing golf as a child and played his entire life. Playing golf allowed Phil to meet other players who became lifelong friends.

Phil is survived by his wife of 34 years, Alexis, along with four sons, Peter, Christopher, Vincent, Robert Yuastella and their wives, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his Mother, Gerry Cunningham, and his three siblings, Mary Deschenes, Clare Gillis, John Cunningham and their families.

Phil was a great guy. I always enjoyed playing golf with him at CCN and I admired his spirit as he fought his illness.

Phil was a good friend when I worked for him in Kalamazoo. He was a creative thinker and a diligent worker. Spent many good times with him and Alexis. Rest in peace my friend and best wishes to Alexis and family.

I’m confident in saying Phillip was not at all a complainer, I’ve been a nurse for many years and his pleasant style and kind presence is unforgettable, i always addressed him as Mr Von Maur became he was always dressed so sharp

I have been honored to know Phil the last four years. I met him at The Country Club of the North and played many rounds of golf with him. There are so few people in your life that you connect with so quickly and so closely, Phil was one of those rare individuals. He always impressed me with his positive attitude and spirit, but much more so when I last spent time with him in early September. The manner in which he battled his illness and is positive "can do" spirit was inspirational. As we talked that last time I felt he was fully aware his days were limited, nevertheless he was as positive and upbeat as always. He never felt sorry for himself but was happy with his life and whatever it passed to him. He just pressed onward and in fact said was heading to the course for a round of golf. I will miss him a lot.
